My feelings on the Adams Pick are similar to Leonard Williams

I'm not sure that's the case. Lots of GMs do the same thing, picking outside the box because they're convinced they know more than everyone else.

Just look last night. I'm not sure a lot of teams had Corey Davis pegged as a top 5 pick. Isn't that an instance of the Titans' front office convinced they are the smartest guys around, like they just pulled a rabbit out of a hat?
i believe our disconnect is you're dragging in other franchises to this discussion & the only NFL franchise i give a shit about is the jets..

i take no solace in other franchises shitting the bed as bad or worse then we do.. for that matter, why would i??

I can understand that viewpoint, and I certainly respect it.

However, when you talk about the Jets thinking they're the smartest guys in the room, that automatically draws comparisons to other teams, doesn't it? Isn't that by definition doing so? Presumably, that comment suggests the Jets' front office believes itself to be smarter than the front offices of other teams. Otherwise, in which room would the Jets think they're the smartest guys? Their own war room?

hey, perhaps it does sack.. that said, it doesn't take away any of the sting & embarrassment i feel tonight..

if the jets insist on being the smartest guys in the room for decades, it would be nice, if only for laughs they actually were at least once..

But many teams act that way, both good-drafting teams and others. Just like every team strikes gold once in a while, and every team reaches and drafts busts once in a while.

The Jets aren't the best or the worst. They are what they are, just another NFL team when it comes to the draft.

with all due respect, i've grown tired of repeating myself on this topic..

i don't give a shit about the many teams that also act this way.. but you absolutely know that, because i've said it to you more than once in this thread..

OK, in a vacuum of only the Jets, the Jets act like the smartest guys in the room. Got it!

Alright guys, this is getting a bit heated.

Let's relax amd enjoy the night. No one knows what career everyone will end up having so there's no point of us being at each other's throats. Time will tell.

You're right. I got too heated.

My apologies, jg13.

Come on. Admit you're entertained when jg13 and I argue semantics.

Besides, at the end of the day, it's like a prize fight. We get past it once the final bell rings.

actually don't like a bitch fight we had enough of that with some others on this board...

I do like heated discussions but there is a point of no return...

either way there are reasons to be upset but like some of said there is a third day to draft some more safeties... :global (34):

One can only hope the Jets find some hidden first-round talent in the sixth and seventh, or the natives will grow restless.

Bah. Depth is for wusses.

A grand slam every pick, or I want heads to roll.

WR Dede Westbrook
OG Dorian Johnson
TE Bucky Hodges
RB Samaje Perine
LB Carl Lawson
OT Zach Banner
CB Damantae Kazee
QB Brad Kaaya

are all options with our newly acquired 4th round selection unless we end up trading down again for 2 5ths... :global (5):

This is nonsense, Sack. A few good picks that were labeled as "BPA" does not a GM make? Whether you or anyone else wants to acknowledge it, the GM's success/failure is forever linked to the team's success/failure. Makes sense, right? That's logical, right?

The fact is this team had one OK season and one terrible season. So where they are in there 3rd season with Mac, the playoffs should be EXPECTED and that is fair given how long he's gotten to build this team. Yet the Jets are in total rebuilding mode from scratch.

I didn't write the rules for GM's, I am merely giving you the publics perception.

Mac needs to draft much better with players that don't fall in his lap. He needs to show that he can identify talent in later rounds than the 1st. He needs to start this team on a winning path. I'll reserve judgment until I see how he handles the rest of this draft, but he must NET at least 3 starters in this draft. Otherwise, the team is just spinning their wheels and will never become SB champions under his direction.
He has shown he can draft well late, not to mention undrafted players.
